Under Pressure lyrics

Pressure pushing down on me

Pressing down on you, no man asked for

Under pressure, that burns a building down

Splits a family in two

Puts people on streets

That's OK

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about

Watching some good friends screaming "Let me out"

Pray tomorrow gets me higher

Pressure on people, people on streets

Chippin' around, kick my brains around the floor

These are the days it never rains but it pours

People on streets, people on streets

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about

Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out"

Pray tomorrow, gets me higher and higher and high

Pressure on people, people on streets

Turned away from it all like a blind man

Sat on a fence but it don't work

Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn

Why, why, why?

Love

Insanity laughs under pressure, we're cracking

Can't we give ourselves one more chance?

Why can't we give love that one more chance?

Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?

'Cos love's such an old fashioned word

And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night

And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves

This is our last dance

This is ourselves under pressure, under pressure, pressure
